Chapter 46 A Price to Pay (1/2)

A few moments earlier. Alchemy Association.

Lu Bong is together with Meng Zuo, Lu Shi, and a few other men from both Meng and Lu Clan.

”I want to speak with your tier 3 Alchemist, Mu Ye!” Meng Zuo's voice sounded.

”Tell him that I, Meng Zuo of the Meng Clan from the Royal Capital is looking for him.”

Hearing his name, a lot of the apprentices outside were shaking, even the applicants that wanted to join the Alchemy Association halts their track.

'A person from the Royal Kingdom! Meng Clan!'

Although Gangting City is under the rule of the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, and Northern Star sect, there is a hierarchy to follow.

The four major Sects together with the Royal Kingdom stands above them, and under these five are Region Lords, there are four of them, which is also the representative of each of the Four major sects, and under these four region lords are the Cities.

There are a total of 88 Cities in the territory of the Zhi Huan Royal Kingdom, and 34 of them are the territories of these major sects, the 54 Cities are then left are serving under the Royal Kingdom itself.

The benefits of these are of course big, The Cities, all 88 of them are sending the tax to the Royal Kingdom annually, then, the ones under the territory of the sect will be able to trade treasures with the Sect, not including the Associations settling under the City's territory.

Now, a person from the Meng Clan, a Clan inside the Royal Kingdom had come to their small City. One can already imagine the amount of pressure that the normal folks from the Gangting City are feeling.

Just at this moment, Mu Ye went out with another old man behind him.

”What's the ruckus about!?” Mu Ye shouted.

”Hmmmp!” Meng Zuo immediately snorted and added.

”A mere Tier 3 Alchemist dare to antagonize the Clan where my Sister is residing, I hope that you reconsider your decision.” Meng Zuo's domineering attitude showed immediately.

”And also, do yourselves a favor, and bring the one that offended my nephew here now. I will forget the incident that happened today.” Meng Zuo's eyes gleamed in confidence as he looked at Mu Ye like an ant. ”Even you brutally thrashing my nephew.”

Hearing this, Mu Ye couldn't help but frown; ”May I know who you are?”

As he asked, Mu Ye turned his attention to the people behind him, and as soon as his gaze landed on Lu Bong and Lu Shi, he couldn't help but feel enraged.

Seeing Mu Ye's expression, Meng Zuo couldn't help but chuckles and replied: ”I'm Meng Zuo, from the Meng Clan in the Royal Capital.”

Hearing this, Mu Ye now know the situation, it was rumored before that the Lu Clan has some ties with a certain clan inside the Kingdom, and now, this Meng Zuo actually confirmed the rumor itself.

”Hmmp! It is your nephew that is too arrogance, brandishing his sword at the precious guest of my Alchemy Association, how dare you command us to hand over the victim?” Mu Ye's reply is solid, not even backing down.

So long as the other party has no background other than being a Clan member of the Meng Clan, he can still stand it, unless it is a Young Master, a direct descendant, elder, or the patriarch himself that is in front of him, he could only do nothing but bow down.

”Oh, then are you sure that you would stick to your words and fight with me? A person from the Meng Clan?” Meng Zuo's face carried a mocking expression, belittling Mu Ye with every word that comes out of his mouth.

”Can you carry the guilt, when the Alchemy Association in this City-”

Meng Zuo was about to carry out his final pushing words, forcing Mu Ye to the corner, but before he could, a cough was heard.

”Ahem.” The old man beside Mu YE advanced as he continued: ”Did I hear it correctly? Someone is threatening my Alchemy Association?”

Meng Zuo's mood soured a bit, he immediately replied; ”What of i...” But as soon as his gaze landed on the old man, he stopped.

”Grandmaster Zhu!” Meng Zuo immediately kneeled.

The people from the Meng Clan that had gone with him also kneeled, the Lu Clan family members were shocked, before they were pulled down by Meng Zuo to kneel.

”Oh, you know of me? But I have not heard of the domineering name of Meng Zuo, where does the Meng Clan's residence? Is there even a Meng Clan in the Royal Capital?” Grandmaster Zhu's words echoed to the ears of each member of the Meng Clan.

And instead of anger, they are feeling despair, beads of sweat started to appear everywhere in their body, they didn't even dare look at Grandmaster Zhu's eyes.
